Mark Wahlberg is out for justice in first trailer for Spenser Confidential

January 20, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

Netflix has released the first trailer and a poster for Spenser Confidential, director Peter Berg’s upcoming adaptation of Ace Atkins’ best-selling novel Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland. The thriller stars Mark Wahlberg as Spenser, an ex-cop and ex-con who enlists the help of his roommate and MMA fighter Hawk (Winston Duke) to help him investigate the murder of two of his former colleagues; take a look here…

Spenser (Mark Wahlberg) — an ex-cop better known for making trouble than solving it — just got out of prison and is leaving Boston for good. But first he gets roped into helping his old boxing coach and mentor, Henry (Alan Arkin), with a promising amateur. That’s Hawk (Winston Duke), a brash, no-nonsense MMA fighter convinced he’ll be a tougher opponent than Spenser ever was. When two of Spenser’s former colleagues turn up murdered, he recruits Hawk and his foul-mouthed ex-girlfriend, Cissy (Iliza Shlesinger), to help him investigate and bring the culprits to justice.

Spenser Confidential arrives on Netflix on March 6th and features a cast that also includes Iliza Shlesinger, Alan Arkin, Bokeem Woodbine, Marc Maron and Austin Post.
